The country music performers came together in the late ’90s and their debut album, “Horse of a Different Color,” spawned several top 40 hits including “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy),” “Holy Water” and “Wild West Show.” They’ve put out several albums since that time, their most recent being 2017’s “I Did It For The Party.”

The duo is the second headlining act the festival has announced. Last week it announced that rock band 3 Doors Down would be headlining the event on Saturday, June 1. No other acts besides the two headliners have yet been announced.

This will be the 36th year of the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival which takes place at the Lake Skinner Recreation and gives guests the chance to sample wine from up to 20 wineries, listen to live performances and see the balloons lit up at night.
